Celtics' guard Ray Allen is excited about the arrival of Darius Miles in town this season.

"I'm excited about Darius Miles," Allen said. "He hasn't played in a while, and he's excited to be here and help this team."

"When people see him play, he'll be a fan favorite. People say he hasn't played in a couple years, but at the same time he has a lot of basketball left in him. He's only 26 years old, and to be able to have him at this stage of his career is going to be great for us."

Miles has missed two years with a microfracture in his right knee and now faces a ten-game suspension for violating the terms of the NBA's anti-drug program.
